JIRI MICEK JR WINS G12 & ES24 |
|
|
AT LEAST AN INTELLIGENT INITIATIVE IN SCALE RACING |
|
|
We all know what scale racing is under the conservative nomenclatura
of Charlie Gooding and his ISRA co-dictators: hardly more than a
sick making joke. Although G12 racing is the most popular class in scale
racing, hyper conservative Gooding found never time to introduce it at
the ISRA world and to drop such classes as 132F1 and ES32, being hardly
more than survivals of the early 1980s. Gooding and his co-dictators
have still not understood that England is no longer a world leader in
international politics, that this is still no longer the case since...
1890! Nevertheless Gooding believes that only the British should dictate
the rest of the world what scale racing should be. The result of this
nomenclatura was that number of scale racers gradually decreased.

Attendance at the several rounds was still
unequal, but except for Josef Korec, Frantisek Poledna, Thomas Rosenberg
and Josef Miskolci all good scale racers from Central Europe entered at least one
round, even IOC #2 Vladimir Horky (the best scale racer in the world)
and 2004 world champion Petr Krcil. There were racers from Switzerland,
Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Germany and Czechia. With Paolo Trigilio,
Jaroslav Recek, Michal Radkovic, we found at some rounds toppers at the
start. But the main surprise is that Germany counts again a sufficient
number of scale racers, among them Heiko Thinschmidt, Reiner Borzutski,
Roland Brehmer, Michael Krause and U.E. Pietsch as best ones. Since
years we saw no Germans in the Victorian ISRA circus of SuperQueen
Charlotte Gooding the First. I feel Germans have right not to enter the
ISRA comedy swindled for a world championship. I consider ISRA as pure
poison in slot-racing and I can only hope that the well attended EuroCup
will open in the future its doors for the excellent racers of
Scandinavia and England, so that the racers themselves can see with
their proper eyes the distinction between Jurassic ISRA racing (where 8
days are spilled for 4 races!) and
postmodern EuroCup racing. Someone has to ban ES32 and 132F1 from the
interna-tional calendar, the first as totally overruled by ES24, the
second as having never been a universal class. |
